In addition to a full life of social activism Daniel Berrigan has produced an impressive literary corpus amounting to over thirty volumes. Berrigan's life as a writer, a priest and an activist is examined chronologically, beginning with the early years of his life as a priest and theologian, followed by the tumultuous period of the Vietnam War, and finally by Berrigan's defiant challenging of the pronouncements of both church and state regarding the morality of war in general and the deployment of nuclear armaments in particular.
